Autorenporträt

Hefziba Lifshitz is an Associate Professor at the School of Education of Bar-Ilan University, Israel, where she heads the master's program in intellectual disability (ID). Lifshitz holds the Lois Machado Chair for Cognitive Modifiability and Human Development and also chairs the Baker Research and Developmental Center for Young Children with ID. In these roles, she became aware of the need for research oriented to cognitive educational rehabilitation, relating specifically to the developmental potential inherent in the adulthood period among populations with ID. To date, she has focused her body of research on empirically examining her compensation age theory (CAT) and evaluating the triple CAB (cognition-affect-behavior) intervention programs that she designed for persons with all ID severity levels and etiologies. The Otzmot Empowerment Project that she initiated now includes multiple stages of inclusion in the academic world for adults with ID. Six such post-secondary students who are currently fully included in regular academic courses are expected to complete their BA degree in 2022.
